Did you measure the run length or is that an estimate? I swagged it on my race report based on my pace.

The extra distance was a suprise that morning. If I hadn't ridden the run course to warm-up I would have had a big sad-face when I got to the 7 mile marker and there was no finish line.

From several finishing places behind you, it looks like you had a good race.

I hit the 7 mile marker at 59:05 - so I did a little math and arrived at the distance. I saw the 7-mile sign when I was returning from the ride - I freaked out like you did - it was nowhere near the finish line!!!
